-- besides other hard-right extremists, he supports Joe Lieberman and John McCain.
During Lieberman's 2006 reelection campaign, he wrote (WP, July 30): "Lieberman's three decades of constituency service - the jobs he's saved, the grants and contracts he's helped secure - entitle him to another term."

Rove is an old friend, Broder saying on May 18, 2003:
"I like Karl Rove....we had many long and rewarding conversations. I have eaten quail at his table and admired the splendid Hill Country landscape from the porch of his historic cabin (he) and his wife Darby found miles away and had carted to its present site on their land."
On April 26, 2009, Broder headlined, "Stop Scapegoating, Obama Should Stand Against Prosecutions," saying:

On September 18, 2006, Glenn Greenwald called him a "Poster Child for the sickness of American journalism." Aging more hasn't mellowed him.
